    As a leader of the black community, he [Sharpton] should be using his platform to denounce the violence and rioting, instead of stirring the pot to incite by organizing a march to protest because the police department is delaying their report. Did it occur to him that maybe they want to get it right. If nothing is done about it then he can organize a protest. Give the system time to work!

    Skipping past the part where I point out that Sharpton may not be concerned about what YOU think he should do "As a leader of the black community" . . .

     . . . How is "organizing a march to protest because the police department is delaying their report" harmful?

    Why is "organizing a march" so offensive to you?  D'ya have a problem with the Constitution? 

    Do you want me to call the Tea Party on you?! =)

    I thought the first picture was funny...a bit distasteful.....but funny none the less.  I tend to forget that people are very thin skinned about race.  I'm OK with joking about anyone.  The reason the 2nd photo uses brown skinned Americans is because those are the ones rioting (I guess since I didn't create it).  I posted it as a representation for @Sardonicus that we are all products of the choices we make in life.  It doesn't matter where you come from OR WHAT COLOR YOU ARE as long as you make good decisions, work hard and take personal responsibility you will succeed.  That is the beauty of America IMHO. 

    I find it quite interesting (and sad) that my posting of two pictures I found off the interwebs have caused @tarheelmatt to peg me for a racist just by "reading between the lines".  You have no idea who I am, where I come from or what my ideological beliefs are.  I can assure you I am far from racist.

    Oh, wait - that's actually a police officer throwing a rock at protesters.  He's probably not the same people you were talking about.

    It's good to see Carl from Family Matters is still working the beat.  Did I do that?

    I have heard the term "Morning Glory" before. Never heard of the "grumpy". Learn something new everyday. Again, great story Uncle Apple.

    It's not just Baltimore as previously stated.  http://www.cbsnews.com/news/video-mob-of-high-school-students-attacks-man-at-gas-station/  I lived in Memphis for several years.  Some cities just have a mentality that they are raised with that are hard to over come.

    I'm with @SGH on this one.  I'm more interested in finding out how you missed the skirt on the sign on the way in or the W-O in front of MEN.  Must've been in quite the hurry doing the pucker shuffle.

    Don't have a problem organizing a March. I just think doing so after all the violence and rioting, is too soon. Like I said give the PD time to do their investigation, and if you don't like  how it turns out, then do your March. Seems like he is just adding fuel to the fire IMHO.

    Sharpton is a big part of the problem. . . .

    How big a part of the problem is Sharpton, do you think? 

    How many unarmed citizens has he killed?  How much did he contribute to the inequities that have so many living in relative squalor, in fear? 

    Do you have a percentage in mind?


    Give Sharpton some credit for the invaluable service he provides as a target for those who work so diligently to deflect attention from root cause(s) and real issues.


    Embrace your black herring.

    The irony is that Sharpton's most loyal constituency is arguably white racists.  They're the only ones who really seem to hang on his every word.

    Hey if you say you aren't then that is great.  Though your actions spoke differently.  If you are who you say you are, then I am sorry and apologize.  

    In regards to thin skin are not slightly true about me though.  I joke with everyone.  Anyone that knows me knows that, but sometimes people jump over the line and I honestly felt you did.  Like I said, if you are who you say you are, then fine, I am sorry for pinging you for something you're not.

    I am who I say I am....a BBQ cooking, flag waving American who struggles everyday with God telling me to love thy neighbor as thyself.  I'm many things but not racist.

    It is quite interesting that mayors like this one, the one in Ferguson and NYC are all blaming poor education, no jobs, no hope to better themselves... Hmmm... In those cities they are ALL run by democrats and have been for decades.  They blame their surroundings when those surroundings are created by THEIR pi$$-poor "leadership".  Baltimore's last R mayor was back in the early 1960's.  Here's a tip folks, you want real change? Quit voting for same morons over and over again...

    Just sayin...
